Reply #5: I have a theory, Ninga. You might not agree with it though.

I have moved on but every now and then I find myself getting a bitter lump in my throat too. It wouldn't bother me so much but I have a room full of pictures, posters and memorabilia from the 4 years I spent working my butt off in Iowa for him. What am I supposed to do with these things? Throw out 4 years of my life? These are my memories and now they are embarrassing to show anyone who comes over. Thanks John. Fuck you, too.

Here's my theory.

John Edwards was never the man I thought he was to begin with. I heard the bashers call him phony and I didn't believe it. Now I do. I think he was phony from the get go and I can't believe my 'phony radar' didn't work. Usually it does and I was fooled from day one. And you know what? I don't like being made a fool of.

The John Edwards I thought I was supporting would never have denied a child of his. No matter what. He wouldn't have lied and acted so god-damned pathetic in that interview last August.

I can't even call this a waste of what might have been. I don't think his heart was ever in the right place to begin with. I think it was all about him and his words were nothing more than words.
